It’s now official—Future Trunks is making his return in the next arc of Dragon Ball Super! The last time fans saw Trunks, he had successfully defeated the Androids and Cell in his timeline, bringing peace to the future. But with that chapter behind him, what new danger has forced him to travel back to the past?
Next week, Dragon Ball Super will air its 47th episode, titled “SOS From the Future! A New Black Enemy Reveals Himself!” A newly released episode description (via ANN) teases the arc’s main antagonist, whose name is bound to take fans by surprise. Take a look below!
The episode’s plot will start in the future when Earth is free from the Androids’ domination. A man named “Black” suddenly appears, and Trunks tries to defend himself. He is no match, even in his Super Saiyan form.
Bulma is resolved to make a time machine and ask for help from Goku and Vegeta from the past, but after half a year, she only accumulated enough fuel for the time machine to make a one-way trip. Then, Black appears again before Bulma and Trunks.
In addition to the intriguing synopsis, the official Dragon Ball Super Twitter account has shared the first image from the arc. This sneak peek offers fans their first look at Future Trunks, Mai, and the mysterious Goku Black—the official name of “Black,” as confirmed by Akira Toriyama.
Notably, Trunks’ hair color has changed from lavender to blue. Meanwhile, “Black” appears to be an evil doppelgänger of Goku. What could be the reason behind these shocking developments? The answers will start to unfold when the arc premieres in Japan on June 12.
